NECKIIE-HOLBEPJ.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Au 195 91i5 Application led October 31, 1913. Serial N o. 798,563.

T0 all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIS F. WALKER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Siesholtzville, in the county of Berks and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Necktie-Holders, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a necktie holder, and the principal object of the invention is to provide a holder which is so constructed that a necktie may betied upon the holder and the holder then removably connected with the collar.

Another object of the invention is to so construct the holder that it will serve to hold the collar in a set position as well as connect the necktie with the collar.

Another object o'the invention is to provide an improved hook which is removably connected with the body portion of the necktie holder.

Another object of the invention is'to provide au especially constructed collar which is used in. connection with the improved tie holder.

This invention is illustrated in the ac conipanying drawings wherein- Figure 1 is a perspective view of collar with the tie connected therewith; Fig. 2 is a front view of the tie holder; Fig. 3 is a rear view of the tie holder lwith thetie connected with the same; Fig. il is a perspective View of the front-end portions oi' a collar used in connection with this tie holder.

The collar 10 with which this tie holder is used is of the turn-over type and has its end portions 11 provided with notches 12 which are out from the upper edge and are positioned over the bottom holes 13. By having the collar provided with notches 12, the hook of the tie holder engages the upper edges of portions 11 and prevents the collar from gapping in the front. This construction will therefore remove an objection which a great many people have to this type of collar.

The tie holder 14 is provided with side wings 15 and a lower tongue 16 which is provided with an enlarged-end portion 17. Thistieholder is preferably Jformed of the same material from which the collar is made so that when the tie is in place there is no danger of a person detecting the tie holder. Slots 1S and'19 are formed in the tie holder,

the slot 18 being wider and longer than the slot 19 and extending transversely of the 'then 'in place.

tie holder and at substantially right angles -to the slot 19 which extends longitudinally of the tie holder.

The attaohingdevice which is carried by the tie holder formed from a short piece of strong wire which is bent at one end to form a hook 21 and which is also bent inten mediate its length to form the eye 22 which extends through the slot 19. in open ring 23 is passed through the eye 22 'to hold the attaching device in place.

When using this tie holder, the tie24 is' passed through the slot 18 and is then tied about the tongue 16 as shown in Figs. 1 and 3 with the enlarged end 17 of the tongue positioned between the ends of the tie beneath the knot as shown in Fig. 3. .lt shuld be noted that the lower-ond portion 25 of the attaching device 20 entends at an angle to the upper end portion and therefore when the tie is in place, this lower-end portion will cause the tongue 16 to extend outwardly at an angle to the shirt a sulicient amount to prevent the tie from being uncomfortable.

After the collar has been buttoned in the usual mannen the hook 21 is inserted in the alined notches 12 and the holder is then turned to move one of the wings 15 into the space between the inner and outer vwalls of the collar. The other side wing is then bent slightly and moved into the space between the tu walls of the collar and the tie is This tie can therefore be very easily put in place and does not need to be untied and tied every time it is removed from the collar or put in place. The tie will therefore retain its-new look for a very long time. The hook 21 by fitting in the notches 12 prevents any independent movement of the collar ends 11 and thereiore the collar cannot gap. 1f the tie holder is formed of linen and it is desired to laundry the same, the open ring can be removed and the eye 22 can then be easily slipped out of the opening 19. The holder can then be sent to the laundry. together with the collar. What is claimed is: l. A tie holder of the character described comprising a body portion having its end portions formed into side wings, a tongue extending from 'said body portion, said body portion being provided with a longitudinally extending slotand a transversely extending slot, an attaching hook provided with an eye portion extending through said longitudinally extending slot, the lower portion of said hook extending at an angle to the upper portion thereof for holding said tongue at `an outward angle, and. means engaging said eye portion for releasably connecting said hook with said body portion.

2. 1n a tie holder a body portion provided with an opening and a suspending device formed from a strip of material bent intermediate its length to form an eye portion extending through said opening and having arms extending therefrom, one arm having its free end portion bent to form an engaging element and the other arm being bent to extend at an incline from the first mentioned arm to hold-the lower portion of said body portion at an outward angle, and means for engaging said eye portion to releasably connect-said suspending device With said body portion.

3. In a tie holder a body portion provided with an opening and a suspending device formed from a strip of material bent intermediate its length to form an eye portion for passing through said opening and having arms extending therefrom in opposite directions, one of said arms having its reesaid collar is in use, a tie holder, and means carried by said tie holder for removably connecting said tie holder with said collar and fitting into the alined notches of said collar to prevent gapping of the collar.

In testimony whereof l. ailix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
